    I was bowled neck and crop by a Chinaman a few years ago.

    Funny thing was, he was bowling seam up at the time. Nice chap.

    He was an Australian Chinaman, so not a real Chinaman.

    Did he bowl you a ball of oriental cunning?

    Not really. We were in a run chase and he bowled me a length-ish ball on off stump that I missed. I could claim bad light, but it was just a terrible shot, really.

    Not sure that I've ever faced a Chinaman, tbh. Surely it's just like a big turning off-spinner bowling from wide of the crease.
